Dear Sirs,
You are the three players we most vividly recall attempting to injuriously hit Paulie Martin in the last couple of seasons. You are a fearsome list of deviants, and let it be stated, you preverts are all on notice.
That is all.
Outragedly yours,
PaulieMartinNation
Does a jealous acorn loving squirrel fall into this group?
And it’s Komisarek vs Kovalev with Pierre McGuire in the middle! Gooooo Pierre McGuire!!! Wait, What?
And it’s Komisarek vs Kovalev with Pierre McGuire in the middle!
Pierre’s died and gone to heaven!
Meanwhile, I’m enjoying the calming, dulcet tones of Joe Beninati calling a Caps game on Blersus. How dreadful. Heh.
Pierre’s died and gone to heaven!
it’s funny seeing him in the whole between the benches. I never thought I’d ever use the phrase, “He’s no Rob Ray.”
If I was any number of NHL superstars, I would have taken out a restraining order against Pierre to keep him from doing the between-the-benches thing. And honestly, no one is more annoying about piping up at regular intervals to remind the viewer that he’s standing RIGHT NEXT TO THE PLAYERS than Pierre. How even more dreadful than Beninati!
whole between the benches
*role. In the whole “between the benches role”
Typing’s hard.
no one is more annoying about piping up at regular intervals to remind the viewer that he’s standing RIGHT NEXT TO THE PLAYERS than Pierre.
It doesn’t help that he’s always piping up about being RIGHT NEXT TO THE PLAYERS in contexts in which it doesn’t matter. Is it nice to have a guy on the inside telling us what the players are saying? Sure, why not? But we don’t need Pierre being all “if you were down at ice level like I am, you’d know that Zdeno Chara is tall”.
*role. In the whole “between the benches role”
Typing’s hard.
You know, I thought you’d meant the “hole between the benches”. So it kind of worked for me. :D
But we don’t need Pierre being all “if you were down at ice level like I am, you’d know that Zdeno Chara is tall”.
Oh god. That, or “if you were down at ice level like I am, you’d know that was just a goal.”
I would have taken out a restraining order against Pierre to keep him from doing the between-the-benches thing.
Granted, if I was in there, Luke Schenn would have to yell at me to stop petting him.
Granted, if I was in there, Luke Schenn would have to yell at me to stop petting him.
Absolutely! I would be SO much worse than Pierre if they put me in that position. Heh. (Although I’m not sure if I could slurp Beaker more than Pierre does. Not that I disagree with him, or anything, but I don’t think it’s possible to be slurpier.)
*gasp* Bad Goose! Look at you, getting yourself on the Ookies’ bad side! And on a list with Rangers, no less! Is this the kind of company you keep? Now, go to your room, and I don’t want to hear another honk out of you.
Gambler, :^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I wouldn’t mind hearing one more honk from Goose — a honk of apology. :P
Dear PaulieMartinNation,
If I were to beat up Marc Staal and bake you a batch of cookies would all be forgiven?
Honkingly yours,
Paul Gaustad
Dear Goose,
If you also beat up Drury, we’d consider the score settled.
Have at it,
PaulieMartinNation
P.S. What kind of cookies are we talking about here?
Dear Mr. Gaustad,
Almost certainly yes. (But only if the cookies don’t have nuts in them.)
– PaulieMartinNation
But we don’t need Pierre being all “if you were down at ice level like I am, you’d know that Zdeno Chara is tall”.
Apparently you can see Chara from the moon! And he’s mentioned Gustavsson’s height about 30 times so far.
You know, I thought you’d meant the “hole between the benches”.
In that case, spelling’s hard! :D
And he’s mentioned Gustavsson’s height about 30 times so far.
Well, he is at ice level. If you were down there, you’d also talk uncontrollably about Gustavsson’s height. That’s just what being at ice level makes you do.
P.S. What kind of cookies are we talking about here?
Heh. I think he’s known for making sugar cookies with the kids from Camp Good Days.
Okay, beating up Marc Staal and Chris Drury and baking me sugar cookies? That would totally get Goose off The List.
I think Goose still has some loyal affection for Drury. How about Avery?
Nah, I’m over Avery. It’s Drury or bust. :P
hmmm, actually, who was first in the Pauliemartin-icide? Goose or Drury? Because Goose may have done it just as a hero worship thing. Wow, that wouldn’t help, would it?
Nah, no dice, mcguffers. Goose went after Paulie’s bad back last season and Drury went after his knee last night. Unless Goose invented a time machine… Hm… Actually, the best part of the whole thing is that it gave Drury the opportunity to say in the paper, “[Paulie] is so shifty”.
Ooooh, wait, was this the game where MSG in Buffalo showed Goose reacting after Paulie hit him and then ALL the other channels showed the initial stick to the back that Goose gave Paulie? Cause I think I remember that. Last season is kind of a drug induced blur.
“[Paulie] is so shifty”.
Like Pistol Pete?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ooooh, wait, was this the game where MSG in Buffalo showed Goose reacting after Paulie hit him and then ALL the other channels showed the initial stick to the back that Goose gave Paulie?
That would be the one! All you Buffalo fans were all, “What the hell is wrong with Paulie? Why is he attacking our sweet innocent baby angel Goose?” And everyone else was all, “Goose is an ANIMAL!” :P
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Beaker,
Quit puck hogging, we are already up 6 goals, and look at your assist total. Just remember we take the name broken noses seriously.
The Broken noses Owner.
Surely Beaks can’t read!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is he attacking our sweet innocent baby angel Goose?
Well, first off, it was kind of funny that our production guys totally recut the film to change the situation. They got all reality tv with the editing there.
And secondly, Goose could club a baby seal on Elmwood Ave while eating a bald eagle sandwich and urinating on the American flag, and we’d still probably just shrug it off cause he’s just so adorable!
You know, I’m wondering if Versus does read us, what with that whole story about Emery and Schlittsy, and how they both swim. It’s like they’re going to, in a subtle, roundabout way, alert me to every NHLer who can swim, just to answer that burning question.
Dear Broken Noses Owner,
Fine. Fine! I’ll just stand there on the ice while my teammates score! Is that what you want? Huh?
– Beaker
Pierre is slurping on Komisarek right now. Aaaand I’m jealous.

Willie Mitchel sent me a big single digit salute last night, by scoring after I dropped him.
Oh, and the Senators suck balls.

I guess any threat to Dury concerning Paulie won’t work either. Can we have a fantasy WNBA league. At least most of them have degrees.
He’s just doing that to rub it in that he’s at ice level and you’re not.
Pierre McGuirre: “Komisarek is trying to listen to officials as he’s standing right next to me on the ice. I’m not sure how things looked up there with you, but down here on the ice it looked good.”

For some reason I totally thought you were Myra’s Hub leaving that comment, and I was shocked — SHOCKED! — to hear the bit about the single digit salute coming from him. And the stuff about the Sens sucking balls. I was like, “Wow, we’re TERRIBLE influences! Hub is talking like mcguggs now!” :P

Might as well go balls…I mean all in at this point, right?
I’m going to get some yoga pants bezzaled with “seedy skank” on the ass!
The interwebs are clearly out to get me. It was a chore trying to watch the Sabres game the other night, and I barely got to finish the first half, but of course Sens/Leafs and Flyers/Caps are coming in perfectly. Also, as long as the Sabres are on this interminable hiatus, you’d think the Scheduling Gods would at least give me something to watch that didn’t make my eyeballs want to vomit.
The Broken Noses are all about negative motivation. That’s why we have Langenbrunner and Breaker to respond to it.
Also, as long as the Sabres are on this interminable hiatus, you’d think the Scheduling Gods would at least give me something to watch that didn’t make my eyeballs want to vomit.
Wait… you’re not enjoying Beaks’s hat trick? :P

Also, as long as the Sabres are on this interminable hiatus, you’d think the Scheduling Gods would at least give me something to watch that didn’t make my eyeballs want to vomit.
I’m using this time to give thanks that for once it’s not the Sabres making my eyeballs want to vomit.
And seriously, are we the only team not playing? I just have this fear that every other team in the NHL is working their kinks out, and we’re just getting lazy and drunk… er.
Wait… you’re not enjoying Beaks’s hat trick? :P
I might have, Schnookie, but I haven’t made it past the point of turning on one game just long enough to make it through the commercial break and see Alfredsson or Pronger or basically anyone in any of the four jerseys on my screen, before my eyeballs threaten to vomit and I have to switch to the other game. Rinse and repeat. (I also might be enjoying it more if I hadn’t had to just look up who Beaks was. It’s been a while, IPB.)
I’m using this time to give thanks that for once it’s not the Sabres making my eyeballs want to vomit.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You’re always finding the silver lining. :P
I just have this fear that every other team in the NHL is working their kinks out, and we’re just getting lazy and drunk… er.
Well, we don’t play again until Thursday, but I don’t think it would help. I mean, game or no game, the Devils are NOT going to work out their kinks. Those are unworkable kinks.
And seriously, are we the only team not playing?
I don’t know, but I also want to know why our reward for making it through this long break is a game against the Coyotes. Really? Her? Maybe the train wreck that is that franchise right now will alone suffice for entertainment, but we always play horribly against Phoenix. It’s adding insult to injury, if you ask me.
Oh, and did I forget to mention: My life is haaaaaaaaaaaaard!

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Ah, I know that feeling all too well. On the bright side, Getzi’s on now! He’ll make you feel better! What’s that? He won’t? Well… I tried. :P
Oh, and did I forget to mention: My life is haaaaaaaaaaaaard!
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Wow, it really is! (I like Phoenix this year. They’re rife with hotties. And I’m shallow.)
Getzi will make it easier because he won’t be wearing a jersey!
I’m just not used to this whole Versus thing. I am completely confused for 10 minutes about why I can’t find the Flyers game. And then I was watching the OTT-TOR game out of the corner of my eye and hearing Pierre and thinking, How could he be on this game and on the Flyers game at the same time? And now I can’t find the BOLTS game. Is it even on TV? I think it’s these new contacts. Every problem solved just causes a new one.
Fortunately, it’s all moot because the Stars are about to start! WOO! We’ll have something to compare the first game to.
(I like Phoenix this year. They’re rife with hotties. And I’m shallow.)
Me too. But I haven’t checked out the hotties yet. Except for Doan. They might be my Tranny Brides this year. I want them to do well, but not as well as we do. Being in our same division is a little awkward.
I like Phoenix this year. They’re rife with hotties.
Oh, really? I have to admit I paid almost zero attention to league moves this off-season, so every time I look at a team it’s a huge surprise. I just turned on the Ducks game and was like “Whoa, Saku Koivu plays for Anaheim now?” (It’s pretty much my 20th iteration of “Whoa, [he] plays for [them] now?” since Saturday.) So I look forward to seeing who started playing for Phoenix when I wasn’t paying attention.
“Whoa, [he] plays for [them] now?”
I do that, too! I love that game! :D
It’s pretty much my 20th iteration of “Whoa, [he] plays for [them] now?” since Saturday.
That’s always the story of my first month of the season. Even the moves I knew happened make me go, “Whoa, [he] plays for [them] now?” I can never keep track of the offseason.
Strangely, instead of feeling ashamed that I haven’t paid more attention, I just feel kind of peeved. NHL, what are you doing, changing around on me when I’m not looking? Cut it out!
“Whoa, [he] plays for [them] now?”
I’ve tried to keep up with all the moves (mostly because it was the Habs doing them) but once Sept started I was done.
Komisarek is making me happy right now. Not as “happy” as Pierre, but still.
NHL, what are you doing, changing around on me when I’m not looking? Cut it out!
That’s often how I feel whenever a new season starts. For some reason, I am WILDLY enthusiastic about the start of this season, with all the offseason moves and new team dynamics, and all. I’m excited for every team except the Devils. (Well, and the Rangers. And the Caps. And this paddleball game.)
This is the first season in a long time when I don’t feel overwhelmed by the changes. Although I think I will always be shocked at the sight of Madden in a Hawks uniform.
Poor Patrick Stefan. He is NEVER going to live that down.
Poor Patrick Stefan. He is NEVER going to live that down.
He really shouldn’t, though, should he? :P
I am still surprised that Paul Kariya plays for the Blues.
“What’s HIM doing here?!”
OK, wait, maybe I can be surprised — Patrick Stefan still plays? Really?!
No, they just played that clip of him whiffing on an open net. It’s required before every game against Edmonton, apparently.
Oh, thank goodness! I was beginning to think I’d fallen down a rabbit hole! Alexandre Daigle was there, offering me a tea cake and a hookah.

Nope this is it. Game 2 of the season.

Morrow’s first score of the season!!!!!!
I tried to get him, but Grrrreg is higher on the waiver list. He better not have him benched!
Sorry Patty, we just can’t compete against Getzi’s shirt falling off.
You’re right, Myra. We need to get Morrow to fall-off his shirt every once in a while.
Also we need to find something to compete with Getzi. :D

is there a single player in the NHL who’s more overrated than Phaneuf?
I nominate Drury and Briere.
Let me just put that Goose letter through Babelfish… Yes, that’s right, Goose, we are going to the Dagoba System, and yes, you were wrong to crosscheck Paulie in the back, and yes, I would like those freshbaked cookies!
Good morning, everyone!
Good morning, everyone! :^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: to Goose’s letter and the translation of it!

Hee! I think Goose is a little too tall to play R2. Han Solo, yes. R2, no.
Maybe everyone else in Goose’s school play of Star Wars is REALLY tall, so he’s the perfect size for R2? :P
we are going to the Dagoba System
Can I come too? Heh.
Morning, IPB. I love the letter, although I feel horribly guilty that I haven’t been watching hockey at all. I should probably rectify that. (I haven’t felt this guilty about not doing something since my Catholic school teacher reamed me for not saying my Hail Marys.)
Caitlin, it sounds like you need to get yourself some Tranny Brides!
Caitlin, it sounds like you need to get yourself some Tranny Brides!
I think so! I’m debating getting Center Ice this year, too, but the Stars are frightening me… so perhaps some Tranny Brides would be in order.
Any suggestions?
I cannot tell a lie. I think Phoenix or more specifically, Coach Tipp with Phoenix, is going to be my TB of the season. Tampa Bay has lost my interest and the Yotes picked up Pretty Eyes Pyatt.
Good morning IPB!
I’m not nearly as depressed about the Stars as I thought I would be. They don’t completely stink like I thought they would.
Any suggestions?
Phoenix are lookin’ pretty hot. They’ll probably get stomped by the Pens tonight, but they’ll look cute doing it :D
Coach Tipp with Phoenix, is going to be my TB of the season.
Ahhh, the pull of the Tipp is strong.
They don’t completely stink like I thought they would.
I haven’t been watching out of self-preservation. Do they just kind of stink? :(
Phoenix is the feel-good, look-good story of the year!
They don’t completely stink like I thought they would.
Isn’t that a nice surprise to get? That your crappy team isn’t NEARLY as crappy as you expected? Also, I love how refreshing it is to watch your team be bad in October. I mean, it’s October! Who cares! :D

Exactly!

Yep, with some promise of taking a shower anyday now. Well, maybe not until after the Calgary game. Hmm.
Alexandre Daigle was there, offering me a tea cake and a hookah.
I have to leave to go visit a client…however, I should say that:
1. It’s about time Daigle found something useful to do.
2. Apparently, I should have been here last night, not watching the game on Versus. You were much more entertaining.
it’s October! Who cares!
Buffalo. Because hockey is the last bastion of sports hope in this town.
Heaven help me, but I think Pittsburgh is my tranny team. The power of Jay McKee, combined with the adorkableness that is Sid and Geno is doing me in.

I’ve been on a roller-coaster ride with them the last couple of years, one day being tranny married to them, the next day seeking a tranny divorce, but I think I’ve settled into a comfortable willingness to like them this season. I guess I don’t hate the status quo.
Did you guys see Chara in the ESPN Body issue? It’s nightmare fuel.
I haven’t seen the Chara pic yet. I’m too busy having my butt kicked by my handwriting workbook. I have got my work cut out for me! I wondered aloud to Schnookie yesterday that I really wonder which will come first — my getting good handwriting or the Devils figuring their shit out.
Pookie, can you really chnage your handwriting at this stage in the game? If you can, I bet it would be before they figure anything out.
PS – The Chara pic is at espn.com
can you really chnage your handwriting at this stage in the game?
I’m going to try! :D (I had to learn new handwriting — drafting printing — in college and did okay at that, so I have hope.)
I think I’ll have to wait until I’m not at work to look at naked Chara.
Good luck Pookie!
And, I know it’s considered “tasteful” but I would call it NSFW.
I mean, it’s October! Who cares!
Yeah, it’s all fun and games until April comes along and you need your team to win 9 of it’s last 6 games, and Boston to lose every game, and Philly needs to lose every game, but still beat the Rangers, and the Rangers actually have to lose previous games they’ve already won, and no one can get OT loses, and Toronto… well, they just have to keep being in last.
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: But who wants to think about those things now? :P

Eghck! I need to go find a job so I can be at work all the time :P
But who wants to think about those things now? :P
Clearly not the Sabres! And by “now”, I’m assuming you mean today – March 22.

:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I’m so excited to see what it’s like to get the whole “falling off a cliff” part of the season done BEFORE the playoffs this year!
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::: It’s like they’re crossing off “stop procrastinating” on their New Year’s resolution list! Next up, “volunteer more”, “eat better”, and “stop teasing Zach so much.”
Warning, do not visit Puck Daddy if you do not want to see naked Chara. That is my PSA for the day.

That was like telling me to stay away from the cupcakes, Amy!! What a weird pattern of body hair…

Like world peace.
the Yotes picked up Pretty Eyes Pyatt.
Feel free to join in, everybody: Whoa, Pyatt plays for Arizona now?
I guess you weren’t lying when you said they got a lot prettier! Remember what I said about the Coyotes being a crappy award for waiting out this long break? I take that back. (I know this isn’t exactly dignified, but: he’s preeeeetty. Also, I have kind of a soft spot for him since he’s partly responsible for my getting back into the Sabres in a big way. It all dates back to that fateful night late in the 05/06 season when my mom yelled from the living room: “[Gambler]! Get in here and watch this game with me! Pyatt’s injured, so he’s joined the broadcast team! He’s in a suit!” And the rest is history.)

Not that I like players to be injured, but I love when they’re in the broadcast booth! They’re usually funny and have much better insight about the game than the broadcasters. (see DiPietro, Rick) I also love when the parents get in there. Mr Higgins and Mr. Komisarek were quite lovely last year when the Habs played the Islanders.
And the rest is history.

So I guess I don’t get it. I’m supposed to pay for Center Ice, but if the game is on NHL Network, I can’t watch it unless I buy NHL network. But both channels will black out for Versus, which I DO get, but not if I had Direct TV. Yeah, I have no idea why casual viewers complain that they wouldn’t be able to watch hockey even if they wanted to.
Oh well. It’s “I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant” then.
It’s not very often that NHL Network has games that are worth watching. It’s often full of Canadian teams.
Oh. Right. You LIKE Canadian teams. :P (Oh, and we have a new post up just now. In case anyone was tired of this page.)
[...] good at hockey. I’m like, “Goose’s job is to be all handsome and blinky and to occasionally attack various Devils….YOU MEAN HE’S NUMBER ONE IN FACEOFF PERCENTAGE TOO?!” Be still my heart. [...]
